Roma and Real have practically guaranteed themselves a place in the play-off. The only thing left is to determine who belongs to the first place. Roma has left a mediocre impression after its game in Madrid, but that was two months ago. Roma has turned back to life since then, while Real has survived coach's relegation as it won a couple of matches with the new coach, Santiago Solari. Still, that is not surprising considering the opposition's level.

This game is the first real challenge for the coach. Roma is the underdog here, but the Romans have chances to win since Real Madrid would be satisfied with a draw. Furthermore, bookmakers seem to overestimate the guests. The match very well may result in a draw.
